Cartel's Will Pugh sits down with Shane for Episode 15. He talks about Cartel's extremely fast blow up during their first album, how they were never able to top the success, and also dishes all the dirt on the infamous MTV "Band In A Bubble" where Cartel wrote and recorded their entire second album in a "Bubble" in New York City.

Shane sits down with his buddy Telle Smith of The Word Alive and they discuss:
-Moving to California to "join the industry"
-His audition with Blessthefall
-His days in former bands In Fear and Faith and Greeley Estates
-Faking knowing how to scream in A Word Alive at first
-His brother stabbing him when he was 8
-Fully breaking his back stagediving, yet cancelling zero shows
-Where he gets his nickname "Telle"
On the first episode of this special Underoath 2-part "Mini-Series", I sit down with Spencer Chamberlain, frontman of the band, and mostly known for his screaming. But as a very competent singer, did he feel like he should have done more clean vocals in the early days of the band? He talks about that, his new band Sleepwave, how the Underoath reunion came about, and how mad he was when they broke up.
Bonus: Shane starts drinking again
Adam Lazzara of Taking Back Sunday joined me for a great talk about the early days of the band, reuniting the original lineup, struggles with being in a band and fatherhood, and how he's still "getting a handle" on his voice. Bonus: Shane talks about his new solo project "River Oaks".

A self admitted 'Private Person', Pierre sits down with me for a super open discussion about his personal life, his sometimes rocky relationship with fellow band member Chuck, and says he feels like a fraud every day. Did you know Pierre used to be in a political punk band and toured with bands like Strung Out and Ten Foot Pole when he was 17? A very eye opening and informative episode, and another must-listen. -Shane

I sit down with Buddy Nielsen from Senses Fail, who 1 year ago came out as identifying as queer, admitted to being an alcoholic, and a sex addict. Now over a year sober, and more political than ever, we talk about everything from hockey to gun control to repressed memories and Buddy's dislike of Texas. We also bring up Senses Fail's past, and the infamous "Ass Pass". This episode checks all the boxes.
